Dallas Freshman Showcase – Top Performers Vol 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We were super excited to run our first ever Texas Freshman Showcase in Carrollton, TX last weekend.  We had some of the best freshman in the state show up and show their skills.  Many players stood out to our court coaches and scouts throughout the entire showcase for a variety of reasons.  Some players stood out for their dynamic physical skills and some stood out for intangibles like leadership, effort and attitude.  Let's meet a few of the players who earned the honor of Top Performer at the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='433623' first='Amia' last='Wigfall'] [2027] 5-6 Outside (HS: Rock Hill/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last='']/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":434491,"width":150,"height":114,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/734-Amia-Wigfall.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-434491" width="150" height="114" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Amia is currently an unranked prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet.  She is now on my official watch list after what I saw in person at the showcase.  She plays for Rock Hill High School and also club for the nationally recognized [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last=''] volleyball program.  Miss Wigfall sure did make a huge splash to all of the court coaches who watched her at the showcase as she jumped very well and stayed super aggressive while attacking everyone in her way.  She is just another one of [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last=''] great leapers who can throttle the ball on both pins.  I love how high she reaches when she is making contact with the ball.  This will make it very difficult for blockers to time her attack and it will help her stay efficient when scoring.  She gets off of the ground in a hurry from anywhere on the court.  I love how she is ready to swing from any location and it doesn't matter if the ball is in system or not.  As time goes on, she will develop even further and turn into a true point scorer. <strong></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='413355' first='Camryn' last='Penn']&nbsp;[2027] 5-7 Setter (HS: Lovejoy/Club: Dallas Skyline/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":434471,"width":148,"height":109,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/715-Camryn-Penn.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-434471" width="148" height="109" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Camryn is an unranked prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet.&nbsp; She plays at the legendary Lovejoy High School and also plays for the nationally recognized Dallas Skyline volleyball club program. Miss Penn was a joy to watch as she ran the show for her team during the scrimmage drills.&nbsp; She looked like a seasoned veteran moving the ball from pin to pin.&nbsp; I love how, at this young age, Cam had the intent to run her middles even in out of system settings.&nbsp; Her size and speed are two aspects that will keep her at the top of the setting list for sure.&nbsp; She was very poised during tense situations and never backed down from anyone from what I could see.&nbsp; I had a few of our court coaches remark at how she played much older than her age.&nbsp; Her eyes stayed focused on the opposing side during defense and it helped her to stay ready for anything that came her way.&nbsp; She is someone who I will definitely keep my eye on as the high school season progresses.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award from our showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='433318' first='Ava' last='Sanborn'] [2027] 5-7 Libero (HS: Rockwall/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last='']/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":434481,"width":143,"height":105,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/725-Ava-Sanborn.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-434481" width="143" height="105" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ava is currently an unranked prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays at Rockwall High School and also for the famed [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last=''] club program.&nbsp; Miss Sanborn was relentless in her overall pursuit of the ball on the defensive side.&nbsp; She would not let the ball just fall without a solid push toward it.&nbsp; Ava was picture perfect when it came to her posture while at base.&nbsp; There was never a time when she would break her well-disciplined posture and stand up.&nbsp; It was always forward and low like a libero should be.&nbsp; This tells me that she is super coachable and has been trained very well at it.&nbsp; I still see a lot of older players not be as disciplined at this very important aspect of the position.&nbsp; I think her future is very bright and we will keep watching her volleyball journey. &nbsp;&nbsp;Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award from our showcase.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are many more amazing players that will be written about.&nbsp; Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.&nbsp; If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:Michael@prepdig.com">Michael@prepdig.com</a>.&nbsp; Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.&nbsp; Help us help them by simply retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook.&nbsp; Thanks for following Prep Dig Family!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
